This has to be one of the worst wrestling games ever. The only positives I can say are the controls are simple, and the combat is easy to pick up and play. During matches, you can get access to power-ups like health buffs, freeze your opponent, damage buffs, etc. Some of the environments are pretty cool like a chop shop, swamp and subway. It goes downhill from there. Every wrestler has the same move-set. Only difference is maybe one move and a finisher. Graphically, it's worse than WWE All-STARS, which looked way better. Severe lack of match types and glaring omissions (no Triple Threat or Fatal 4 Way Cage, no Ladder, no Elimination style modifier). No Create-a-Move-set. Create-a-Superstar/Woman is super bare bones, even more limited than WWF War Zone. Campaign mode is decent, with a comic book style story presentation. Too bad the difficulty ramps up to the extreme near the end and trades fun and skill for frustrating cheap tactics. There are a ton of playable characters including a lot that were added via post launch updates, but they are all so expensive with stingy in-game currency payouts that make it a boring grind. Not like it would be worth unlocking AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, John Cena or anyone since they all play 99.9% identical to each other. Worse? Game would even crash and slow to a crawl at single digit frames in multi-man matches.
